A Good Heart Is Not Enough: Protecting Yourself in Relationships

Having a good heart does not mean you should accept cheating, abuse, abandonment or constant heartbreak in a relationship. Kindness should go with healthy boundaries and self-respect. Strong emotions can make it hard to leave a relationship that is causing pain. It is possible to be caring without allowing emotions to keep you in a harmful situation. Being observant also matters. Pay attention to red flags, speak up about what you do not want, and learn to say no when necessary. You can be kind and still walk away from a relationship that is making your life miserable.
